Airport Director Rajiv Kapoor said the initial energy assessment of the new terminal was estimated little more than two-megawatt daily for illumination, cooling, water supply and other electrical device operation in the airport, which would be supplied from non-conventional sources.
MBB Airport would be the first solar power-driven airport of Northeast where conventional electricity supply has been installed to supplement the shortfall of energy demand from solar, Kapoor said adding, “It is roughly estimated about one-megawatt power will require in the daytime in the airport though, during sunshine hours, two-megawatt solar power would be generated, which would be feeding to the grid.”
